              NIAGARA COUNTY NEWS. VOL. 2. YOUXGSTOWX, X. Y., JULY 21, 1882. NO. 21. TOPICS OF THE WEEK. The modern unpardonable Bin is asking a man to pay a debt. Mits. Garfield has been allowed the balance of the late President's salary for one year by a Congressional Tote. A DMVMJUTIVfI insect known ae " Aphis," is morking great damitgo to sipplo trees in Ontario County. A Mi.L has been introduced appropriating $835,000 for printing and binding the report of the late censue. I'rksident AuTiiuu and Seth Green are going en a fishing excar- Hion together. It is something to be a fishmonger aftor all. A .NfORTOAOK of $5,0(10,000 has been recorded against tlio Mutual Union Telegraph Co., in favor of the Central Trust Co., of New York. Tμ ic Buffalo Etepreu thinks Buffalo cannot spare Mayor Cleveland for anything leu than Governor. Guess they won't get rjd of him very easy then. HtnroUßß of pilgrims aro visiting the shrine of St. Anno do Beaupre :;t Montreal, where it is nid seteral rc- Ynarkablc miracles have happened, such as tho curing instantly of the deaf, blind and lame. A NKuuohy the name of Harris I has challenged Governor Jarvis, of {forth Carolina, to u joint discussion before tho people of the State. Tho Governor has mado no reply to tho challenge. It is rumored that thero will be h consolidation of tho (Jrand Trunk and Great Western railways, to take effect August i 2. The now company will bear tho namoof "Tho Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada." One of the most daring acts of bravery iri that of a gunner on board the war nliip Alexandria, who picked up a lighted shell that had fallen upon the deck, carried it to a pail of viratei and immersed tho burning fine in tho water, which extinguished it. Tiik rush for government clerk■hips it greater than ever tefore. J>y recent legislation nearly one thousand clerkships have been created. Nearly three-quarters of these are in the Interior Department. Over four thousand applications are on flic, eaofa being particularly recommended. Many more are coining in daiilv. GOTOUM has directed tho Department of Agriculture to collect and publish monthly, for the information of fanners, the freight rates of the various railroad and steamboat linen, for the purpose of enabling them to judge when and over what JiiiOß it will bo tho most profitable to ship their products. This in connection with uniform rates to all would be exceedingly benetieial, botli <o producer and consumer. TiiE amount of revenue ruised from liquors, tobacco, banking tux, etunips on chocks, patent medicines, and matches for the year ending June 1882 was * 135,000,000. An effort is now being made to pass a bill to demolish the stump system, nearly all of tho banking tax, and about one third of tho tobacco tax. This would bo an unwise courso to pursue except so far as matches are concerned. Tho stamp duty on matched should bo repealed. Mas. AiumiAM Lixcoln, widow of the late President) died of paralya sis at her, homo in Springfield, 111., last Sunday. She was the daughter of the lion. Robert S. Todd, of Lexington, Ky., and was married Nov. 4, 184V1. Sinco Mr. Lincoln's death she has resided part of tho time in Kurope. She has received a pension of $3,000 a year from the government, ami within a few month* this line beta [noreaeed to #3,000.

THE YOIIKTOWN " BUMB." Washington, Juno !l.—Tho Critic has the following account of tho Yorktown drunk by jno who was there : "Congressional Committee, .Senator John >ton Chairman, With their invited guestß, in Muiling Govornors of sovorul States, army tnd navy officials, and a promiscuous lot oi jthors (whoso presence, by tho way, caused 101110 comment), were quartered aboard the iteamor Excelsior, whoro for llvo days and lights thoy were fed, wined .and lodged at ;ho cost of tho National Government. In ,lie first place tho bar-room, open from lawn until midnight, was thronged all the iirao, and two sets of bartenders were kepi :011stantly employed in cooling oir the hot solfori of the thirsty mob of invited guests, vho wore allowed to drink and sinokb and .0 enjoy all tho bar privileges froo of charge t wus there, olfo, when tho steamor lay ofl forktown, they used to go on shore and iring their friomls aboard and ' fill 'em up. Vnythlng from mineral wutor to a quart ol ilumm's oxtra dry wus to bo had for the isking, and Henry Clay cigars without limt. Tho bartenders, too, wero very obliging Hero,' they would say to un acquaintance ipplying for u smoke, ' take half a dozen ol hose Cluys and keep them. You don't of on get a chance to smoke such cigars free. Jo it was with everything at tho bar for a hue, uuj ovcry one, from u stable boy to n longressman, took his champagne cocktail u tho morning as un appetizer, and a pint lottlo for a night cap. In fact, they literally >athed in it. Hut the great waste, or at least ho most reckless method of dispensing wines ind such things, was most conspicuous iu he main saloon, whore tho committee and heir friends assembled ; also where their neals wore served. " Tho evoning that thij steamer left Wash ngton no refreshments wero obtainable in ho saloon, except 011 an order of tho coinuittoe. Tho aspect of matters changed, lowover, after the first meal. At that reiast wine flowed us freely us wafer, and thi 'ery-much-mellowed members of the com uittee, with lavishing hand distributed fine, cards signed In blank to their most inimate friends, who then could order what hey wanted. The next morning packages f wine cards not signed at all w ero picked ip on tho saloon lloor, and certain ones were ustructed by tho finders that whoever held uch cards could order what ho wanted over lis own name. Tiiis scheme was carried ut for two days, and would have lasted foi ho entiro trip had it not been discovered »y a negro waiter,—Reader, note that there appen.d to be a iiojjro in tho fence,—had ocu playing tho same game, too, but fool each card.
